I've had a lot of trouble getting temps and humidity stable in my glass 20 gal tank. So i'm about to make the switch to a plastic rubbermaid style container. I would not use a heat lamp, or ceramic heat emitter cuz they suck the humidity out of the air. I recently purchased 11" strip of flexwatt to use as a UTH, and I bought a herpstat thermostat.


sooo...

container - 10 bucks at walmart
flexwatt w/ connectors - 10-15 US
thermostat - 110 US
hides - you can buy nice ones for 20 bucks, or make your own for free.

cheap and will be easier to keep. easy to clean. not pretty though

I bought my stuff from www.mgreptiles.com
